Computational Model of Ice Harbor Forebay, Washington

Abstract

This project serves as a demonstration of the three-dimensional (3D) numerical modeling capability of large reservoirs up to and including the complex geometries of the powerhouse, spillway, and lock guard wall structures. The 3D Navier-Stokes module of the Adaptive Hydraulic (ADH) computer code is used to compute the forebay flow at the Ice Harbor Dam. A numerical flow model of the Ice Harbor Dam forebay, which is located on the Snake River, was constructed. The model results are compared to field data and solutions obtained by an independent laboratory's in-house code.
